Air Norway AS was a regional airline with its head office in the town of Brekstad, the administrative centre of the municipality of Ørland, in Sør-Trøndelag county, Norway. It operated seven round trips a week from its hub at Ørland Airport to Oslo Airport, Gardermoen, and a single, weekly round trip from Oslo to Aalborg Airport, Denmark, using a wet lease Fairchild Metro aircraft from North Flying. The airline was established in 2003. Following the bankruptcy of Coast Air in January 2008, the airline stepped in and was serving Fagernes Airport, Leirin with two daily flights to Oslo, and one daily flight to Trondheim, but these were terminated in 2009. Operations The airline was owned 40% by Nordic Air, 40% by the Municipality of Ørland and 20% by North Flying. All operations were flown by North Flying, who operate a 19-seat Fairchild Metro 23 in Air Norway livery. The municipality subsidised the route with NOK 1 million per year. The company had a managing director in a 20% position, plus one person who coordinated booking on an hourly basis. In 2008, the airline had a revenue of NOK 16 million and made NOK 800,000 in profit. Ørland Airport is the civilian section of the military Ørland Main Air Station. Traditionally, the main customer group for Air Norway was military personnel. Air Norway was forced to temporarily suspend operations in 2017 due to runway repair work at Ørland Airport, its main base. Services were resumed in September 2017 before terminating again in October 2017.

A single, weekly round trip was made to Aalborg from Oslo, leaving on Friday evening and returning Sunday afternoon. History Air Norway was founded in 2003 by Gunnar Hagsveen. Scheduled services from Ørland to Oslo commenced on 23 May 2003. The company had originally planned to also operate aircraft between Ørland and Bodø Airport, to two main air stations of the Norwegian Air Force, but these plans were abandoned.

Hagsveen died on 26 December, and his heirs encouraged local
